Anne Martin is the author of this big-kid fiction story about a fifth-grade, high-functioning autistic girl named Rose. Rose loves rules, homonyms and prime numbers. When a storm hits her town, her dog gets lost. When the dog is found, it requires an act of bravery on Rose's part to follow the rules and do the right thing. This is a beautiful story of a girl who may act differently than most, but whose world is guided by rules of right and wrong. And although her relationship with her dad was sad, it was very understandable and, in the end, he did the right thing, too.
